Review of The Simpsons

The Simpsons (1989– )
8/10
Epic and memorable but also a terrible sellout
20 September 2013
The Simpsons is probably the smartest show in television. That is if you've only seen the first half seasons of the show. The new seasons are terrible. They stopped being smart and in order to compete with shows that are more aggressive (like South Park) or random (like every show on adult swim) they've destroyed it.

When I was a kid the Simpsons payed homage to some of the most brilliant movies, books, music. I learned about Stanley Kubrik, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Beatles, etc. Nowadays they pay homage to Transformers and Lindsay Lohan. I think this is a small example that shows what has happened to them. I hope these people at fox stop producing it. Because the Simpsons were impeccable. But if they continue the legacy will vanish.

Like everything great on the planet it is important to know when to call it quits. Simpsons I think your time has come (it came like ten years, ago but who's counting)
